The closest Fry's is like an hour and a half out.

I dunno, I'm trying to get into fighting games and get some more arcade hits for my Xbox so I can use the stick for more than just one or two games.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #481 on:** April 21, 2010, 04:07:32 PM »

Honestly, just get a SE if you're not even going to use a stick that much. The main difference between a premium stick and a regular one is durability. Unless you're a high level player, you won't even feel a difference. My friends and I couldn't even tell the difference between using the cheap Tekken 5 stick and the HRAP Sanwa.

So now people on the West coast and in NYC are gettng legit copies. No mom n' pop stores left to break street date here. :'(

Yeah, videogamesnewyork are suppose to be selling it today.

I'm gonna stick with the amazon deal.

bork · « **Reply #484 on:** April 22, 2010, 06:13:49 PM »

Bestsku.com has the PS3 version in stock now for $32.99. Their shipping rates are pretty high though. I'd order it immediately but there's no way in hell it would get to me before I head out to the airport tomorrow morning. :'(

Checked a Wal-Mart and found nothing. Someone in Kentucky got lucky and scored a copy there.

BOOM, bitch! I dunno what I was talking about before, I can do DPs pretty well even starting out with this thing, not using shortcuts. I can only get better as time goes on.

And dear lord was MvC2 made to be played on a stick.

SF4 feels fine with a pad because they intended it to be played (okay) that way. Older arcade games, like MvC2? Even HD Remix? It feels harder to do some stuff with a pad, IMO.

Yeah SF4, because of the shortcuts and leniency on input, is much more pad-friendly. I did alright with my 360 pad but I was unable to use Ultras on command because of the macro buttons spitting out EXes when I want an Ultra and vice versa. On top of that, FADCs are nigh-impossible on the 360 controller.

I tried a Fight Pad, got the Chun-Li one, and it broke within two days, so I took it back and pre-purchased Super with the refund. I liked the pad quite a bit, but the fact that it's lighter than its own cord and MadCatz-durability are a huge turn-off to me.

The stick ended up being the only option, and I don't regret my purchase. Can't wait to get it on with Super and MvC3.

bork · « **Reply #488 on:** April 22, 2010, 09:45:12 PM »

I ended up checking out a Walmart and a K-Mart in hopes of finding SSF4 early, but no dice. :'( Someone on SRK said a K-Mart in Athens, GA was selling the 360 version, so even Georgia has broken the street date.

You should tell him to give you a copy or else you'll report his ass. He'll get canned and his store will get fined.

Bebpo · « **Reply #491 on:** April 22, 2010, 11:41:30 PM »

Yeah, did they ever come out with good saturn-style pads? Everyone I play SF with is anti-sticks for 2d fighters so I get stuck using stock dual shock 3s for when we have 3+ people pass-the-controller fighting nights (when it's 1 on 1 I usually stay with a stick and my friend uses a pad).

I wanted to just get 2 saturn-style pads so everyone can have a good controller, but I remember everyone saying the first madcatz bunch was not that great. In the past year since SF4 have any controllers with 6 face buttons + good d-pad come out?

bork · « **Reply #492 on:** April 22, 2010, 11:46:08 PM »

Yeah, the Mad Catz fight pads. Where you been? ;P They are great provided you get one that works out of the box.

I think the Hori FC3 pads look even better. I will be getting one for sure, assuming they're easy to come by.

Bebpo · « **Reply #493 on:** April 23, 2010, 12:31:15 AM »

I thought the madcatz ones weren't good.

When they first came out with SF4 everyone was complaining that they were too big and the d-pad was not that great. Which is why I didn't pick any up.

bork · « **Reply #494 on:** April 23, 2010, 12:45:07 AM »

No, the feel is great. Buttons are perfect. So much so that Hori straight-out copied them with the FC3.

The problem is with quality control. So I would recommend the round 2 pads just to be safe.

At first touch, the Madcatz's d-pad doesn't feel as nice as Sega's but it's just as responsive in SF4. You should be safe with any of the Madcatz pads that you see in store. They've been sold out for awhile so all the current ones in stores should have been newly made.

What stick do you own, btw?

Is that the slim? So much prettier than my 1st gen TE!

I agree stick is better for SF4 if you know what you're doing. Multiple button presses are always gonna be a little awkward on a pad. Also, as a right hander, it's really hard to use the left shoulder button on the Madcatz pad. Actually, the right shoulder button is not much better either. They're just really stiff compared to the 360 pad.

Yeah it's the Type-S. I was on the fence about getting a stick until they rolled out this one. It's so much nicer than the Round 1, imho.

I think I'm gonna end up doubling up on TE sticks whenever that "S" edition drops in price a bit. That thing is fucking sexy.

I have a HRAP2 that I use with a PS2 USB converter that feels great but has a very slight lag. If I'm just messing around with friends I'll use it. I also bought one of the cheap sticks for PS3 just to have a non-lag stick without buying another HRAP. It's responsive but the stick is too loose. If I'm playing serious level play I'll just use the dual shock 3 as I am badass with that (I'm surprised how well the button layout works for sf4).

Anyhow I ordered one of the round 2 pads. Will see how it feels and figure out if I want another.

Daigo's trollin'.

I was fooling around with Rufus a bit over the weekend and that standing short -> close standing fierce is a pretty rough link for bread and butter (albeit, HIGHLY damaging and totally safe on block). I was only hitting it maybe 1 out of every 5 times or so. And it kinda looks like Justin is stepping forward slightly while doing the LKs to get in better position for the close HP link xx HP galactic tornado. Maybe I just need to mess around with it some more.

edit: Reading over the frame data, it's a one frame link. Shoulda been plinking it.

my 360 game shipped, I tested out my old 360 fightpad and it is passable (hard to hit corners without pressing hard), and if it is something worthwhile, might rent/borrow it.

Two additional special "colors".

The Madcatz pad? My main problems with it are the shoulder buttons. Since pressing 3 buttons on the face is really impractical, I've to use the shoulder buttons for that purpose but they're really stiff.

cool breeze · « **Reply #513 on:** April 26, 2010, 05:36:06 PM »

yeah, the madcatz one. actually, the shoulder buttons are less stiff on my 360 fightpad than on my ps3 one. the ps3 one also used to have an issue where the d-pad would get stuck moving right.

Why press three buttons? just map them to RB/RT and make LB/LT for Heavy Punch/Heavy Kick instead.

Or you can try playing the pad using your right hand just as you would play a stick, with the tips of your fingers.

Got a Hori FC3 PS3 pad yesterday. I haven't tried it yet but it's pretty nice to hold. The buttons are about the same as the Mad Catz pads, but it has all four top trigger buttons. The d-pad is completely different. Windows 7 recognized it so it should be fine for emulators/PC gaming too. I may end up picking up another one and completely replacing my Mad Catz pads with them. They are wired-only BTW.

That wasn't nerdy enough for you? :'(

The d-pad is cross-style like a Nintendo controller. It's larger than N-pads and pretty responsive. It's also a little "clicky." Basically where the Mad Catz pads have larger, looser d-pads, the Horis are tighter and a little smaller. [Insert female genitalia joke here]

I really wish they made a 360 version of this pad too.

cool breeze · « **Reply #527 on:** April 27, 2010, 12:48:54 AM »

clicky shoulder buttons aren't always bad $:-\$

play-asia is always slow at shipping things. ncsx didn't have it or else I'd go with them since it is usually a day or two on that site.

and there is that mad catz hori ex 2 pro blah controller with six face buttons and a cross d-pad, but it also has analog sticks and is a full controller. haven't tried that out.
